"There are no sensational disclosures 

 coming, as has been promised, to show 

 direct incompetency, but a state of war 

 could hardly produce a more effective 

 block to normal movement of fuel." 



WHAT RADIATION BEQUIBED? 



We are going to build two green- 

 houses, one 21%x80, and one, alongside 

 it, 10^4x50, with a wood and glass parti- 

 tion between the two houses; all as per 

 enclosed sketch. Will you kindly let us 

 know the amount of radiation require^ 

 in each house to maintain a temper- 

 ature of 65 degrees in zero weather f 

 Which is the best way to run the pipef 

 And what are the sizes of pipe, using 

 open tank? L. F. — N. J. 



We would suggest the use of three 

 2%-inch overhead flow pipes on the 

 purlins for the 21%x80 foot house, and 

 that fourteen 2-inch returns be provided. 

 We would place four under each of the 

 three benches and two on the exposed 

 wall, which has three feet of glass. 



In the narrow house we would place 

 a 2-inch flow pipe on each plate and 

 connect each of them with three 2-inch 

 returns. The best circulation can be 

 obtained when the flows, as well as the 

 returns, are given a slight fall. The 

 expansion tank may then be connected 

 with the highest part of the system 

 and air valves will not be needed. 



Des Moines, la. — The opening of the 

 new Fort Des Moines hotel here July 15 

 made a big run of work for the local 

 florists. In addition to the decorations, 

 there were large numbers of good-will 

 pieces from those who do business with 

 the management. The Alpha Floral Co., 

 of which ,1;. S. Wilson, Jr., and L. T. 

 Chrisman' are the active men, had tm 

 bulk of the work, the orders aggregat- 

 ing over $1,500.
